Starting all over again................

Remember this?  ( I posted about it here ) a longgggggggggg time ago ( when the earth was green )


It's been at the store for over a year now - and I kept meaning to go pick it up and do something else with it - but one thing led to another  ( along with the hope that someone would come along and want it )
Today we picked it up - and I'm as excited to get my hands on it as I was the first time I found it on Craig's list!!!

I'm thinking Duck Egg blue possibly - with lots of dark wax..................
Something like this ( which you can see here )


But until it's done and finished there's nothing to show

Here's a few giggles instead!

1) William Moody Arrested For Allegedly Tossing Dentures At Police

( maybe he was trying to take a bite out of crime ? ) 

2) Darren Koenig was accused in February 2013 of throwing hammers at Texas construction workers.............

( maybe he thought he was giving them a helping hand? ) 

3) After crashing his mustang into an Indianapolis home, William Kise's first question to the victims was reportedly 
" you want some pizza "?

( well I for one would be very grateful - who the hell wants to cook when there's a car in your living room? )

4) Michael Don Mitchell, 38, is accused of stealing 87 dollars in cash and change from a home in Lakeport ( Texas ) as well as a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli.  Investigators identified him by the spaghetti sauce around his lips and mouth.

( obviously an amateur - a pro would have stolen a scott 

towel while he was at it )


5) Arthur Brundage

Police in Syracuse, N.Y. say he robbed a bank and then

came back to claim he was short changed on the loot


( he should press charges )


6) Raymond Garcia, 45, was arrested after cops saw him 

fighting a street sign


( did they approach him with a STOP sign I wonder?) 


7) Sheriff's deputies responding to a burglary call say 

they found Cristian Villareal-Castillo, a 20 year old

man, asleep on the kitchen floor of a home in Oregon


( well that take's falling asleep on the job to a whole new

 level ) 


8) Lindsey Medd Stevens was arrested by Police in  

Knoxville,Tenn. for indecent exposure after his neighbor 

saw him cutting a tree down - while completely in the 

buff


( yawn - another tree - hugger story ) 


9) ARGO ( FLA ) Police pulled over Kotelman allegedly for speeding and driving drunk on May 3.  Cops checked the trunk and say they found a small monkey tucked inside. 

( how did he get the monkey off his back and into the trunk? ) 


10 ) Harold Wayne Hadley Jr was arrested for threatening to blow up his Mississippi school - but he maintains it was a fart joke.  He says he wrote, on a piece of toilet paper, that he " passed a bomb in the library "
He was held on 20,000 dollar bail. 

( something smells with this story ) 

11) Rogue cuddler Agustin Sanchez allegedly snuck into his ex-girlfriend's home and crawled into bed with for a snuggle.  The spooning attempt was thwarted, however, when the woman notified the police.

( by the light of the Silvery moon - I want to spoon.........)

12) Nikoleta Karoly is accused of choking her boyfriend because he refused to marry her so she could get a new Visa

( Visa HAS to relax with their requirements, really, this is going to far ) 

and last but not least............... 

13) Lages was arrested when he called 911 after he was not allowed to bring his kitten inside a strip club  

( this is just too obvious for me to write a punch line - you can figure one out I'm sure ) 

Sometimes it just feels good to start your day off feeling a little superior, doesn't it?

Have a great wknd everyone!
Hugs,

Painting fabric with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...............

Suzan says - I've been thinking of painting the arm chair in the living room
John says - You mean the legs?  That's the only wood on it
Suzan says - No, the entire chair actually
John says - OVER MY DEAD BODY...............YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING THE LIVING ROOM FURNITURE - THIS IS TOO MUCH - DO YOU HEAR ME - THIS IS JUST TOO DAMN MUCH NOW...........

We're on our way to Caroline's today................and I've been dying to see this beauty in person.
